MWBAS Patch up points, Way to high Options

[MyWifesMule]

As the MWBAS server rolls along, people are realizeing that you get as many points for "patching up" a person as you do for planting and blowing a base.

A few of us noticed this last night and thought this is going to be a big problem.

A bunch of people on both sides would run into each other in the spawn area with a jeep or tank and then proceed to patch up each other, then we watched as their scores soared.

So in essence, you don't even have to leave your spawn to be top scorer.

Perhaps the patch up points could be lowered or eliminated all together.

Thoughts?

I put in giving points to healing other players to encourage players to help each other.

Until I gave points for it, a guy would see a teammate with an orangy or red name (meaning very low on health) and do absolutely nothing about it. Wouldn't even pay attention to see the low health on others.

But put in some incentive, 10 points for each heal, and oh boy, the concern for their fellow man (or woman) is at the forefront. LOLOLOL!!!

Sure, I'll take away the points now. Frag on!

Update -- There are now NO POINTS for healing teammates.

Oh, err, darn. No points? Could we run a vote on this. I say 1 point is good. Like is being said, it does encourage healing. I ask people to heal me, and usually have to coach them how.

However, I'll point out I didn't know about this, and couldn't figure out how on earth I got 137 points for 1 game the other night! LOL. I was like, "what the hell did I do?" Guess I was healing people. I'm such a nice guy! My total score after the set was 207. Tried to screenshot it, drank too much, messed it up. Oh well!
